Birth Control Methods
While there is a wide variety of birth control methods, what is available through an online appointment is slightly more limited. What is available, however, are very reliable methods. Telehealth birth control appointments are safe, quick and easy. Keep in mind that many countries allow for over the counter birth control purchase which indicates its relative safety profile.
Pills are one of the oldest and trusted methods with hundreds of options from the "mini pill" which is a progesterone only pill to low dose combined pills as well as high dose options.
Patches are also offered - these are safe, however, they are only effective for patients who weight less than 198 pounds.
Depo-Provera, also known as "the Depo shot" is an injection you give yourself once every 3 months. It’s a safe, convenient, and private birth control method that works really well if you always get it on time.
The Nuva Ring is another option available online. NuvaRing is a small, flexible vaginal ring used to prevent pregnancy. You put it in for 3 weeks, take it out, then put a new one in a week later. The ring can also be left in place for 4 weeks and replaced immediately to stop periods from coming.
